I'm Chinese, learning English for many years, but the ability to learn the language isn't easy.The biggest problems are listening and speaking. When I watch English movies, I can hardly understand what they are talking about and when I'm together with a foreigner, it's difficult for me to say something correctly. I'm puzzled! What is the right way to improve the language skill?I'm been working with Chinese for many years, and I find the best way is chatting. That way, when you don't understand, then there's someone to help you. The more you talk with people, the more you'll get used to the various sounds and words. I have a exchange partner, and she tries to hammer in the correct tones and sounds like hé, tā hěn máng, He and I are both good people - Tā hé wǒ dū shì hǎo rén 他和我都是好人, etc. In the same way, I help her get the pronunciations correct, use more synonyms instead of always using the same words, etc. However, it take time, firstly, to find a language partner, and secondly, finding a time when both persons can call. It works. Try it.

I'm Chinese and I have been learning English for many years. My proficiency level however is not that good. My biggest weakness areas are listening and speaking. When I watch English movies, I can hardly understand what they are talking about and when I'm communicating with an English speaker, it is difficult for me to say something correctly. I am puzzled! What are the right ways to improve my English?0
Hi Wang,
Try and listen to something in English every day and find people to speak English as often as possible. Read as much as you can aloud. Don't be afraid to make mistakes!
You can add me on wechat: leonchan71. I am learning Chinese and so we can help each other out. :)

I recommend audio recordings with written text. When you follow the text while listening to a native speaker read the sentences, it is much easier to recognize these words when they are spoken in conversation. I did this to learn French at it helped me a lot. When you listen and follow along with the text, your brain records both the word and its pronunciation. Try searching the internet for audiobooks or recordings of poetry that also show the written text. Here is an example: https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dreams-2/

Hi Wang! Your English is not so bad! :)
If you want to improve your listening and speaking skills, I suggest you to watch something every day for at least 20 minutes. You could start by watching Disney cartoons: the language is easier because it's meant for kids. If you don't like cartoons, then you could watch some TV series (1 episode per day). The most important thing is to have fun: you should be so interested in what you are watching that you forget it's in English! I don't recommend using subtitles...just be patient at the beginning, and your listening and speaking skills will improve very quickly!
